-
Proposal Review
Detailed proposals can typically be generated in only a few hours using our custom proposal system.
Each proposal may include standard products, customized component selection, and services to provide a full and transparent presentation of the total solution’s scope of supply, pricing, and current lead times.
Full submittal documentation is available to support engineering and owner reviews, and standard product drawings are available at the time of proposal finalization.
-
Purchase Order
Proposal pricing and lead times are valid for 30 days and may be updated on request. Due to the long and complex nature of infrastructure projects, proposal refresh requests are common and available on demand.
In addition to installation-specific proposals, Aderis customers have access to Product Supply Lists that provide real-time access to standard product price and lead time updates to support project schedule planning and purchase order timing.
When your project is ready to move forward, simply issue a purchase order (PO) for a valid proposal that has been updated in the last 30 days. POs will be reviewed and are typically accepted within one business day. Upon acceptance, the lead time clock starts.
-
QA/QC & Factory Acceptance
Aderis is a UL 508a certified industrial control panel builder, and all required UL content, build practices, and documentation requirements. In addition, Aderis energized, configures, networks, and system tests all customer project solutions prior to shipment to ensure everything is working properly before it ships. QA/QC documentation, including build images and test reports, are available on demand.
For customers who require more, Aderis provides the option to perform on-site factory acceptance testing as well as remote system testing that includes both video conference and remote system access to observe testing in real time.
Share your business requirements with your account representative and we’ll accommodate your needs by coordinating testing to align with your project’s build schedule.
Delivery & Commissioning Support
Approximately 2 weeks prior to shipment, Aderis’ logistics team will reach out to customers for project construction timing updates and on-site delivery contact information. Once timing and shipping are confirmed, delivery updates will be provided immediately prior to and upon shipping.
When customer project construction schedules are delayed, or other onsite activities require a coordinated delivery, Aderis works with customers to align delivery timing to support customer requirements within reason. If delivery delays extend beyond 1 month based on customer requests, alternative customer storage arrangements may need to be made.
Aderis supports all of its customers through the commissioning process through remote access and phone support. To ensure support resource availability, use our online scheduling calendar to block out commissioning times in half day blocks.
Can’t find a time? Give your account representative a call and we’ll do everything we can to accommodate your requested date.
Post-Sale Support

During the Warranty Term, all warrantable requests are processed under the warranty terms, including replacement parts, troubleshooting, and remote re-commissioning to help get your project up and running as quickly as possible.
For support requests outside of the warranty term, Aderis follows the same support process, however there may be charges for replacement parts of support in a similar manner to non-warrantable requests during the warranty term.
